I wish I could keep DS little for ever :whistle: I weighed him lastnight about an hour after supper and he was 33.2lbs. Up about 2 lbs from a month ago. He's in a 35lb TF. I know it's ok to have him FF at his weight and age but it is hard to stomach the though of having to turn him. I'd like to buy him a 40lb seat but DD needs one first she is very very close to being even with her FR top slot. I'm in the same boat with her booster vs. FRXT. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do the FRXT (it scares me that she is so close to the door in my truck and I have no other seating choice for them they both have to be outboard. it's a 95 so no extra safety options) but I have yet to buy anything. Even if I did go the booster route I have no idea what to buy her that makes me feel comfortable in keeping her safe. I knew you guys would understand my feelings on this :love:
Anyone llike the TF FF? I have never installed it FF in my truck. Hopefully it takes him another year to gain 2 lbs ;)

If she doesn't have a maturity delay, I'd move a 6 year old to a booster in a heartbeat. Why not just use the Frontier as a booster? :confused:

I have no latch, so I'm unsure of using it. My thinking was to have her harnessed for the wintertime and go booster fulltime in the spring. (and booster train her some this summer. She'll be 6 next month.

Do you not have it top tethered? I'd be far more worried about using a harnessed seat for a booster age child that ISN'T top tethered than about using an unLATCHed booster.

Either way, if it's not top tethered I'd recommend having the tether anchors retrofitted. I personally would not ride with her in the car again until that's addressed.

(no "A" in tethered ;) )

If you have a top tether, why are you anxious about using it in booster mode :confused:


The way I see it, the seat has passed all required testing, including head excursion numbers, completely unLATCHed. Having it top tethered is just icing on the cake.

oops, I knew that lol I guess I should spell check:whistle: this is true about a top tether and I do have a SG for it too.
